All About Me
Hello, my name is Gerard O'Neill. I was born in Ireland on the eighteenth of October in the year 1809. Me and my family immigrated to America when I was 8. Both of my parents have passed away and I now have a family of my own. I have three kids who I love to death. My oldest son Gerard Jr. and Billy the youngest son do not yet have jobs, but do what they can to support our family. My daughter, who by age is in the middle of the two boys does what she can around the house. As for there mother, the love of my life, I have Peggy. She does everything a good wife should do. She cooks, cleans the house, and provides good knowledge to our children.

Occupation
To make money to support my family I am currently working in a textile mill. My job is to load the finished cloth into boxes to be shipped around the country. It is hard work, in bad conditions, and with little pay. I hear though that the conditions are much better than across the pond in England and Ireland. Despite these harsh things I must work to feed my wife and kids.
Religion
As far as religion goes, I do not have much time to attend the services, but I am a practicing Catholic
What I do for fun
When I am done with my work for the day I often stop by the pub on the way home to sit and drink with some friends. I also enjoy listening to music. For a musical preference I have none, I just listen to what every I can hear because I cannot afford to have a music player or go to the shows.
Education
I don't have much of an education. I did go to grammar school back in Ireland for 2 years when I was very young. I know everything I have to know to keep my job and support my family.
My Hopes and Dreams
My only hopes and dreams are for one day my children to live a better life than I am able to give them. I hope they go to school and get great jobs, like a doctor or lawyer. I also hope that after they go out in life and get good jobs, they remember their roots and never forget where the family comes from. My final hope is to die peacefully, not in a tragic textile mill accident.
